My 14-month old son is currently being tested for CF. He
seems so normal and healthy that I can hardly believe he's actually
being tested for an illness that could shorten his life.
Every few months he develops a cough, wheezing, and what
sounds like mucous in his throat. I am VERY worried. I
have been on pins and needles since the day his pediatrician told
me he wanted to test him for CF, which was on Thursday 08/10/06.
His blood was drawn on Friday 08/11. The lab told me it
will take a couple of days for the results. His
pediatrician's office told me the results don't come back for a
week or maybe two. I know there are different ways to
determine if one has CF. Does anyone recall how long it took
for their blood results to come back? My husband and I are
having a difficult time eating, sleeping, and just concentrating.
For those of you that read this, please pray for my son and
our family that the results come back negative. I am very
hopeful that they will!
